SACRAMENTO, CAL, April IA spec
ial and exclusive dispatch to the Bee
from San Francisco, unveils the kissane
business. The story is a thrilling one,
detailing the deeds of one of the most
noted outlaws in the western States
thirty years ago. Kissane is none other
than Col. w. R. Rogers, one of the most
prominent citizens of Sonoma county.
who is said to be worth. over a million,
and owns beautiful buildings and
grounds. His brother is prominent
lawyer of San Francisco. Kissane has
large family, including two daughters
highly educated and handsome. Colonel
Darr, of San Francisco, has known the
Kissanes ever since their arrival in this
State. They are natives of Ireland, and
it is said have never been naturalized,
though they appear on the Great Regist-
er as Americans.
A NEW STORY.
LANSING, Mich, April 7.-U. 8. A.
Forester, q Japanese merchant of high
standing here, furnishes new chapter
of romance concerning Kissane. Up to
the p-csont there was no clue to the
whereabouts of Kissane from the time
he was in Nicaragua to his appearances
in California. Mr.. Forester supplies the
hiatus. During the Chinese rebellion in
1857 Forester was captured by detach.
ment of rebels and taken to Shanghai
with other Japanese prisoners. Here
the rebels were overcome by the Chinese
troops under command of an American,
who was none other than Kissane. He
had secured the favor of the Emperor
through his shrewdness, and was raised
to the rank of General of the army.
The merchant who tells the story, and
is now living here, was made Kissane''
body servant. Kissane finally went to
Europe and visited the leading art cen
ters.
